You’ve just brightened your smile — now it’s time to protect it. The first 24–48 hours after whitening are the most crucial, as your enamel is more porous and prone to staining.
🚫 Foods and Drinks to Avoid
- Coffee, tea, red wine, cola
- Dark sauces (soy sauce, tomato sauce, curry)
- Berries, beets, or any deeply coloured fruits
- Acidic drinks like citrus juice or sports drinks
🚬 Lifestyle Habits to Avoid
- Smoking or vaping (can quickly re-stain teeth)
- Brushing too aggressively (use a soft brush)
✅ What to Eat Instead
- White rice, pasta, and bread
- Bananas, apples (peeled), plain chicken, or fish
- Water or milk
🕒 How Long to Avoid These
Stick to “white foods” for the first 1–2 days. Avoid strong-staining habits long-term to keep your results.
